Frequently Asked Questions

How does daylight saving time affect conversions?

DST may affect actual time differences between regions. Our calculator uses standard UTC offsets for consistency. Check local DST rules for precise current times, as DST typically runs from March to November in most regions.

What time zones are supported?

We support major world time zones including US zones (Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific), European zones (GMT, CET), Asian zones (IST, CST, JST, KST), and Oceanian zones (AET, NZT).

Can dates change during conversion?

Yes, when converting between time zones with large differences (like Los Angeles to Tokyo), the date may change. The calculator clearly indicates when the converted time falls on a different day.

What is UTC?

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks. It is essentially the same as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and serves as the reference point for all time zones.
